There will be light
When
We know not to choose
The wrong, only right
When
For a minor slight
No one starts a fight
When
Humanity cries
For its brethren’s plight
When
We speak for the voiceless
And not stay quiet
When
Women venture out
Be it day or night
When
Girls study, work and play
Damsels don’t need knights
By Sulekha Rawat
